Question

How to combine these two commands?

./script.sh > logfile.log

and

./script.sh 2> logfile.log

Thank you!

How do you mean _combine_? You want both of their output to go to the log file? — Tom Fenech, Apr 26 '16 at 08:23
Is it two different scripts? If so then use: `./s1.sh > log; ./s2.sh 2>> log` see the append `>>` — Andreas Louv, Apr 26 '16 at 08:48
It's one script and I do want both of their output to go to the log file — user3027198, Apr 26 '16 at 08:53

In bash, to redirect both standard output and standard error to the same file, you can write

./script.sh &> logfile.log

If you want to be compatible with other shells,

./script.sh > logfile.log 2>&1

The first only works in bash 4+ – 123 Apr 26 '16 at 08:38
When you are logging, you might need to append log file instead of overwriting it, so simple change to `./script.sh >> logfile.log 2>&1`. – Vrata Blazek Apr 26 '16 at 08:54
